Rangemaster
Structure-Borne Vibration Transmission

Possible Causes
Rigid contact between disposal body and cabinet, missing rubber isolation mounts, over-tightened mounting ring, disposal touching waste pipes or back panel
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before adjusting the installation.
- Check clearances: Ensure the Rangemaster disposal is not touching the cabinet walls, back panel, or rigid pipework. Adjust pipe runs or reposition the unit slightly if needed.
- Inspect isolation mounts: Confirm that all rubber gaskets and isolation rings supplied with the mounting kit are installed and not compressed flat.
- Loosen and re-seat: Slightly loosen the mounting ring, reposition the unit to centre it, then retighten evenly to avoid hard contact points.
- Add damping: If necessary, add rubber pads between mounting brackets and cabinet surfaces to reduce transmitted vibration.
